Ron J. Gilboa, Group Director

November 2017

© Keypoint Intelligence 2|

The Dynamics of Apparel Industry

Evolving China › Migration to South East Asia

Fast fashion› Readily available, somewhat controversial

Retailers competition› Competing for mind share

Direct consumer online selling› Change the fundamentals of supply chain

› Purchase activated manufacturing

Reshoring › Local competitive alternatives to imports

Industry 4.0› The potential impact of improved automation

(i.e. 3d design, digital print, labor, cut & sew)

Environment› Continued focus on sustainable processes for manufacturing and

recycling

Environmental Impact – On Going Challenge!

5,000 gallons of water = a T-shirt & a pair of jeans

Textile industry is one of the top 3 water consuming industries

› China, discharging over 2.0 billion tons of wastewater annually

About 15% of fabric intended for clothing ends up on the cutting room floor

Americans throws away approximately 80 pounds of used clothing per person

Image Source: EDGE


How Does Textile Recycling Stack Up Only 0.1% of all clothing collected by charities and take-

back programs is recycled into new textile fiber!

6



Worldwide Textile Dye & Printed Fabrics Amount to Estimated 450Bn M²

Total textiles ~450bnM²+› Of which ~5-10% are printed textiles

Dyed fabrics estimated at 360-460bnM²› Total textiles less Printed Textiles

Printed textiles ~36 bnM²› Of which ~2.5% are digitally printed

Digitally printed textiles 1.2bnM²


The Case for Digital Printing

Creativity› Large repeat sizes› Print flexibility› Variety of creative design choices for

printing Supply chain

› Short run printing advantage› Reduced production space requirements› Less printed inventory needed› Sampling and production done on same

printer Environment

› Lower water and power consumption› Less chemical waste› Low capital investment
